(erielack) Freelance Layout Follow Up/Erie Airslide Question

["Brian LaManna" <brianlamanna_@_hotmail.com>]

Hello,

Thanks to all the responses I recieved both on and off list regarding my 
questions about a freelanced model railroad scenario involving the Sussex 
Branch and Old Main of the DL&W...every respondent basically said the same 
thing: the L&HR interchange at Andover Jct was far too valuable for the 
Lackawanna to part with the Sussex and the Old Main was a good back-up route 
for the Cut Off and traffic was still pretty good (coughPBurgercough) so the 
layout plan wasn't solid...basically, you said what I didn't want to admit: 
I either model the Sussex/Old Main faithfully or create a new line...I'd 
like to create a new road, but NW Jersey is already cluttered with the 
Lackwanna, Susquehanna, Lehigh & New England, Lehigh & Hudson River...I'm 
going to have to ponder this a bit more...

On another note: Atlas O is going to release their Airslide covered hopper 
in Erie and I was wondering: were these cars ever used in cement service?  
Anyone???

Finally, I still have that Stewart Lackawanna F3 AB set for sale...while I'm 
asking $120, I AM flexble...shoot me an offer and we'll talk...I'd really 
like to avoid EBay...

Thanks!
